The Best of the Best - We had Justin as our guide around the island and it was honestly one of the best tours we’ve been on in a long time—and we travel A LOT. The amount of things we packed into one day and was able to show us was super impressive. He really knows exactly where to take you to make the most of your time. The highlight was seeing the turtles!! We really appreciated getting to talk to Justin through out the day. Wishing you the best of luck! And get on TikTok! :)

Day Trip to Hilo - Tour of Volcano National Park - From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the moment we were dropped back off at the end of the day we were treated like family. Justin went above and beyond to make the tour personal, informative, and thoughtful for every individual on the tour. Justin's knowledge of the area was helpful in scheduling the stops in a way that did not waste any time in crowded areas or lines. We were able to maximize every minute of the day. The highlight of our day was definitely the active eruption of Mt Kilauea. What an amazing feeling to be able to see, hear, smell and feel the heat of the lava, even from miles away. Thank you for opening our minds and hearts to life on an island of volcanos. We will definitely be back!

Phenomenal Tour - Justin was a fantastic tour guide he was knowledgeable and personable and interacted with all parties on the tour. Justin had the foresight to rearrange the stops of the tour to ensure we were able to see and spend the most time at the erupting volcano. I would highly recommend the tour and/or the services provided by Justin.

One Day getaway! - We decided to do a day trip to Hawaii Island, in hopes of seeing flowing lava, of course, not guaranteed. But still had a great day. We are locals, born and raised, but do not see enough of our islands, so we like to do things like this once in a while. We are quite happy with how it worked out, but that's for another review. Now is for Justin, our guide. He was awesome. Starting from being on time with our airport pickup to the timing of our stops. He was personal and knowledgeable. He gave great information of the island and sites we were to see. Humorous too 😂 kept us safe while driving and talking at the same time! That's hard to do, for 8 hours! He got to know each parties name and spoke to everyone to find out where we were from. Now, we being local people, our names did not matter, as we then became aunty and uncle! I've been to Hawaii Island many times, even was the designated driver for the island drive from Kona to Hilo. But this was one of my very best visits as I got to see it and learn about it from someone who lives there. Superb tour and excellent guide! Highly recommend this tour and if can, request your guide to be Justin Gray!!! Aloha!

Outstanding guide and your for anyone! - If you want to spend an incredible, packed day that encompasses the Big Island with an outstanding, knowledgeable and humorous guide, Justin should be your guide and this is the tour. He took our extended family of 7 from ages 10 to 81 on a tour around the island where everyone enjoyed the day. The activities ranged from volcanoes to stargazing with chocolate, honey, Kona coffee and wonderful local food in between. Justin is a guide who knows how to relate to guests and how to educate all ages about his Hawaiian heritage and culture. This is why Justin should be your guide. This was the best day in Hawaii for every member of our family. We are still enjoying telling everyone about our fun adventures. Even our 10 year old grandson loves to relate how he swung on the roots under a Banyon tree!

Personal, Professional, Fun Tour of the Big Island! - Our local guide, Justin, was fantastically personable and so much fun. He treated us like family. From keeping to the planned tour sites efficiently, to adding his “hidden gems” to the route, we experienced all we’d hoped and more. It was an unforgettable day full of memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful for the expertise and experience.
